“Quietude” – PaulJWillson.bky.social
I absolutely LOVE this painting. It’s calming, mesmerising. I want to take a walk in there, find a spot to sit, and simply breathe…

My husband, Harvey’s, nurse sent a video to Brian this morning showing Harvey up and in a wheelchair in the community room! The nurses were playing music and obviously trying to get the people to clap in time to the music. Harvey was actually trying to do it, even though I have NEVER seen him do ANYTHING in time to music before. Amazing and encouraging. 🙏🏻🎶

Brian texted me this morning, asking me to go through a Thai used bookstore list and see if there were any books I wanted him to order for me. I found two Nora Roberts books I didn’t remember, a book all about Thailand, and a book about sketching.
He could order all of them except the sketching book, but went on Amazon, found it, and ordered it! I can’t wait to dive into it!
My son is spoiling me terribly. Soon I will be completely insufferable…

I hope Mother Nature is starting to smile at least in your direction now. I think everyone has had more than enough winter now and think that spring weather, planting, and outside activities should be starting. Hopefully, she’ll get the memo we sent soon!

Ooh, Quietude is mesmerizing! Good find!! And your sketch is amazing, sooo cute! Peering in that way!
well, I keep looking at Froggy wood burn hanging outside our door and asking him to help usher in Spring! Ha! Hope so! I gotta get all these plants outta here and into the sun!
I love, LOVE hearing about all the books and about Harvey’s adventures! Yay!

Maybe you need to have an intense talk with Froggie about spring. Maybe his mind has been on froggy things and he hasn’t been paying enough attention. I still can’t believe the video of Harvey clapping along with the beat… I’m glad you liked the kitty!

the picture was so beautiful and inviting, and I, too, would like to walk in there, find a nice spot to just breathe and take in all of that beauty.
I know you were surprised and delighted to see the video of your Harvey. He has come a long way and improving. Your painting was so pretty, as usual.
Just bask in your son’s love and care of you. You are worthy. (Donna)

I have just come across your blog not so long ago and I have written a short blog post doing a blog share of your blog, to give your blog a shout out.
In the short time I have looked at your blog, it has given me smiles. I love the mail critters and mail box decorations. It gave me so much joy.
And your painted sketch here in this post is lovely.
I agree with you on the painting at the beginning of your post that you find memorising and calming.

Hi Liz. Thanks so much for writing. Thank you for the share of my blog. That is MUCH appreciated. I’m so glad my blog has made you smile, and that you like the the critters and the mailbox decorations. Thanks for your encouragement about my painted sketches. I’m glad you loved Paul’s painting, too. I’m saving that one so I can look at it from time to time and find my calm again. Have a wonderful day.
